Information field expert [like Library Science, Documentation Science] think that this is actually their field. Virtually this is an independent and full-fledged subject but interdisciplinary in nature with several gradients. This paper examine several aspect of Information Science; including possibilities of IS in Engineering field and its specialization; an attempt has been also made for introducing IS as computing specialization for better Information and Technological utility.
